Diversity at H-BRS
Inclusion at H-BRS
It is an important concern of the university to enable all students to study successfully - no matter what personal and physical prerequisites students bring with them. Disabilities and chronic illnesses can be visible or invisible - inclusion means that we not only perceive diversity, but also see its potential and promote it through appropriate measures and projects.
The H-BRS is integrating the topic of inclusion more strongly into the various university levels with the help of the "Inclusive University NRW" funding programme and is developing additional measures.
In addition, the Respekt! initiative offers various activities on inclusion through the format Respect! Inklusiv offers various activities on inclusion and inclusive action.
